Whether you are new to sleep medicine or seeking a second opinion, we aim to make your evaluation process comfortable, informative, and efficient.

Specialist-Led Sleep Apnea Evaluation and Management

We provide sleep apnea evaluation and management at our Garden City office, which specializes in pulmonary and sleep medicine care. Each step is overseen by board-certified specialists, ensuring you receive focused attention from your first visit through ongoing management.

Your Initial Sleep Apnea Consultation

During your sleep apnea evaluation, we begin with a detailed review of your symptoms and a focused physical examination. This allows us to understand your unique sleep patterns, health concerns, and any relevant medical history.

To help assess your risk, we use validated screening tools such as the STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Gathering this information ensures we select the most appropriate diagnostic approach for you.

Diagnostic Options: Home Sleep Testing and In-Lab Sleep Studies

Based on the findings from your consultation and your preferences, we offer two main diagnostic methods for sleep apnea: home sleep testing and in-lab polysomnography. Both options are available at our Garden City location, and your provider will explain which is best for your needs.

Home sleep testing uses a portable monitor that records your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate overnight, all in the comfort of your own bed. Our board-certified sleep specialists interpret your results and provide a report, usually within 48 hours.

For those needing the highest level of detail or a medically supervised environment, we provide in-lab polysomnography studies at our Garden City office using advanced hospital-grade technology. This approach is ideal for complex cases or when a more controlled setting is beneficial.

Reviewing Results and Creating Your Personalized Plan

Once your sleep study is complete, your board-certified sleep specialist will review the data and discuss the findings with you. We then design a personalized treatment plan that may include CPAP, BiPAP, oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, or other recommended approaches.

If CPAP or BiPAP therapy is appropriate, our staff provides mask fitting, device titration, and ongoing support to help you adjust and maintain effective therapy. We also offer troubleshooting and help with discomfort or equipment concerns.

Coordinated Care for Complex Cases

If your evaluation reveals sleep apnea alongside other conditions, such as heart disease, we coordinate care with cardiology, endocrinology, or ENT specialists to address your full spectrum of needs.
